Fuck this game. I hate it. I regret making this thread.
Yes it's beautiful, the idea is there, but they in my opinion dropped the ball on the physics and A.I. I hated the way the cars handled, I race in Forza 3 and Gran Turismo with all assists off. And in this game I can't seem to get through it without or with the assists. I found myself cussing at the screen in utter frustration about how dirty the A.I. was and I ended up turning off my 360 in disgust. The drift mode was poopmouth. I was not impressed. So going from super stoked about this game to utterly disgusted was not fun. I am entirely impressed with Dirt 2 though. Save your money and buy that. Or just take the 60 bucks you'll waste on this heaping pile of shit and spend it on Forza 3. I got my collectors edition on preorder. So anyway, just venting haha |

Make a new thread about Dirt 2? I tired the demo and hated it, I have Dirt 1 and loved it....so it might just be the demo that is bad.

I started playing this last night and I like it. All assists off and ai difficulty on medium, Just bought a 350z
No lie though- Dirt 2 is also one of the sickest racing games out, and the graphics are too legit to quit.

Alright, spent more time with this game, unlocked the NFS Live championship. Havent tried it but im gonna say fuck this game at tier 4, way to hard, cars handle like shit and I have tried so many settings. Way to fast and the car battles get stupider and stupider. My driving line says brake, yet the AI is flying past me like there on a roller coaster.
More about drifting. I say try more than 3 different cars, I have my s13 and I liked it, hard but decent, I tried a AE86 and it was so impossible, gets fully sideways before the middle of the turn and impossible to hold a drift and control. BMW E46 M3, AMAZING, best car I have drifted, kinda feels like grids s15 to me, idk why but different cars are a whole new ballgame, so check em out in quick race or drop the cash and sell it if you dont like it. |

I recently got this. and its the best car game ive ever played. i love the way the cars handling is.. its not like all the others where most ppl just floor it threw every corner and just drive like a maniac to the finish. u actually have to drive the right way if u wanna win a race and the game is made so no matter what kinda car you upgrade the races will have cars that perform the same as urs. so its purly the driver and not how much faster ur car is. and every guage works, all the sounds that u hear in real life are there. for ex: gutting ur car makes it alot louder inside, when u upgrade to LSD u can hear it wining when u slow down, turbo sounds, back fire sounds, engine sounds,tire sounds. everything sounds soo crisp and its just a whole other experiance thats amazing about this game compared to others.

i turned all that crap off. i put the driving thing on pro so its as realistic as possible then the difficulty on medium. and i dont use the map or the mph and shift numbers on the screen just the inside of the car and looking ahead. it makes the game alot more fun. and yeah the races are hard but thats whats better about it.

the game is cool, now that they're finally releasing patches to fix all the bugs... still kinda pisses me off though how hideously underpowered the s14 and 180 are though, even when fully upgraded, 319hp!? c'mon! really frustrating when you're walked by a cobalt

man this game sucks.
graphics are really nice and the cockpit is honestly the best cockpit view so far from ANY racing game but the physics are just horrible.

This is by far my favorite racing game now. I haven't tried Dirt 2 though, since they don't have a PC version.
I've never played the game with the keyboard or Xbox controller, only with my Logitech Momo FF wheel/pedals ~ the physics in the game are very good (as good as any sim I've played), the sensation of speed and collision is top notch, and the feel of each of the cars and tracks (they all feel different!) and their settings is phenomenal. I can't describe what a difference having accurate force feedback makes ~ with GRID, I turned the force feedback settings way down, since they didn't really add any realism for me. I really only liked GRID for the super realistic drifting though (and a little bit for the open wheel races), the rest of the game was meh. With Shift, I start playing with settings to get the car to feel just right, which is when I can really go fast. Also, having pedals is the only way to get any of the Works/Supercars under control. I play the game in Pro mode with all assists off, and recently switched to Hard (started the game with difficulty on Medium), and have gotten all stars except for two... I'm now driver level 30 or so, and have almost all turns on all tracks mastered. The drifting is the hardest part to master ~ I find that the physics seem realistic, but I just can't find settings that replicate the feel of initiating in real life, which throws my whole drifting 'mindset' out of whack... In real life, I'd take these cars into the corner in 4th, drop to 3rd as I initiate, and ride the limiter while adjusting my angle ~ in the game, I find that I can't adjust my angle fast/accurately enough to maintain a drift (so I end up spinning or going wide and having to reinitiate), and have to adjust the car's direction with the pedal, which means going slower and drifting through in the middle or 3rd most of the time. The ebrake is also funky, since it's more of an on/off switch than a real ebrake... you can't just "grab a little ebrake" to adjust the rear of the car coming around a j-turn, for instance. It's also frustrating that the game doesn't have a 'test mode' like Forza does, right off the settings menu. I invite anyone in Socal to come by my place and try it out, it's really impressive.

The difference between drift and race is pissing me off. They should have used the race physics for drift, it'd be more realistic. the 240sx stage 3 doesn't handle for shit on drift. I don't understand how my car can goto handling great to being a complete bag of shit on 2 different events. It's like I'm driving on rims, way too fucking loose. Did these assholes spray the track with oil? Fix the Physics, last i check the laws of physics didn't give a shit weather i was running grip or drift.
Brakes are too touchy on the PS3 game pad. AI is full of dirty fuckheads that will run you off of the course and into any, incontinently placed, stationary object that maybe be just off the track. I like the game but there's a bunch of glaring problems like bouncing around like a jack hammer randomly throwing the car completely off balance or the AI slamming on the brakes for a high speed turn. Game's fun but it needs improvement. It feels like the game wasn't even finished.

The jack hammer handling is pretty easily tuned out with stiffer springs and shocks.

FUCK this game.
I've been playing it for a couple of days now and finally finished Tier 1 and moving onto Tier 2. I can't even beat the first fucking race on Tier 2 ! The RS4 handles like SHIT. The M3 handles like SHIT. What? Don't even get me started with drifting. FUCKING EH. There's invisible ice on the ground, I swear to Jeebus. Either I need a steering wheel setup, or this game is complete ASS.

I got bored on medium though, and enjoy a challenge. I just wish the AI wouldn't come at you like a cruise missile as you pass them, since you always start in the back.... grrrrrrrrr.

Sleep,
With the amount I've been working lately i deserve to be lazy once in awhile... This game is still frustrating even after the settings. They really need to fix this AI. Maybe they'll release another patch, I'm not holding my breathe though.

I wasn't talking to you rogue. I quoted your post, but was still replying to the same guy! I'm not to worried about patches for the game, although you can definitely count on them being implemented to fix the ungodly amount of bugs in the game.
I'll be jamming out on forza 3 by the time they fix this game. |

ive already deleted the game but they have released some mods for it, like removing all the fictional billboards and tents and crap from the tracks to replicate thier real life counterparts better
Need for Speed Shift – Track Objects Removal Mod » VirtualR – Sim Racing News and damage mods to be more realistic/affect your car Need for Speed Shift – Damage Mod Released » VirtualR – Sim Racing News

Picked this game up a couple days ago and was really hoping that I wouldnt be another one to give it a bad review.
started off with a s13 and that was decent and easy to control for the most part. but every single car and race I have tried since that is nothing less than fustrating! I played it for two hrs yesterday messing with all the settings and trying all kinds of different cars.....but the handeling still sucked. I am going to try those settings that were mentioned above and see how that goes. other than that everything else is cool with the game.
